Facility and Location
The Dragon Rises College of Oriental Medicine is located in Gainesville, Florida, a major health education center in the southeastern United States. Gainesville is home to the University of Florida, with its medical and veterinary colleges, and Santa Fe Community College, which has a variety of health-related programs. These schools have extensive library facilities that are available to DRCOM students. Gainesville is also an educational center for training in alternative healing.
Our training facility is near the center of the city. It is a complete educational facility, with lecture rooms, a student clinic, herb pharmacy, student lounge, library, and administrative offices. Audiovisual equipment, anatomical models, textbooks, and charts are used in the classroom. The college also contracts with outside clinics to provide students with an opportunity to observe other practitioners.
Gainesville is a city of 250,000 located in an area that is basically rural and graced with sunshine, lakes, rivers, crystal-clear springs, warm weather, and clean air. Gainesville is, however, less than 2 hours from Orlando, and 11/2 hours from both Jacksonville and either the Atlantic or Gulf beaches. The area cost of living is reasonable and there is readily available, low cost housing.
There are both educational and employment opportunities for significant others. The town has all the attractions and facilities one would expect in a major university center including several local theaters, a beautiful Performing Arts Center, and the Harn Museum of Art. People magazine has named Gainesville as one of the country's best places to live.
Dragon Rises College of Oriental Medicine is maintained and operated in full compliance with federal, state and local regulations pertaining to accessibility and health, fire and building safety.
